3:45 pm
a surprise some thank you so much for joining me today you know i'd like to sort of go back when you're fifteen years old and you decided to leave school you want to start a magazine and pretty much from took on the world that didn't exactly happen but you have managed to achieve a lot of things are you happy with the way the world is right now is a good first say well what the world is extremely good to me. and i've had the job i think of anybody anybody i go. to love again i spoke quite a lot of my type. issues like conflict resolution issues in the world. and obviously you know the world i mean if you live in syria today the world is not a happy place at all and we have
3:46 pm
a wonderful organization called the elders that are trying to help. resolve conflicts in fact lakhdar brahimi he's one of the elders we'll be seeing people rushing to try to try to get agreement as quickly as possible so that we can spare the the people of syria. and i think if we can get russia or russia on board and america are on board we. the syrian government on board hopefully we can get or get that promise of how the set actually work well the elders are actually i don't deny station the twelve people that nelson mandela set up. and they. have people like president carter. nelson mandela. archbishop tutu people with high bar of authority they work is that as a as a as a group to try to resolve conflicts and then sometimes the individual elders i
3:47 pm
would like to bring him has been asked by the united nations to try to. you know work with the various countries involved with syria to try to to try to get this problem result and and. so since you asked am i happy with the well obviously syria is a miserable place and it needs to be resolved it should be a top priority i think of every caring politician to get to get this problem resolved question about the time when you were editing the magazine and you did that you started up a magazine trying to stop the war in vietnam from what i understand do you think journalism can actually change the world and the course of things that is happening oh i think journalists can certainly change the world the internet can change the world i mean it was yes. through the internet. through journalism and the public. the arab spring happened on twitter and google plus and facebook and the if you have followers and you want to try to sort out
3:48 pm
a problem in the world and you get other friends who got it big influence to do the same you can sort these problems out i campaigned a lot for the oceans to try to stop people killing sharks in the oceans and you know we got quite a lot of laws changed around the world thanks to. the internet. so yeah so i think journalism is the. public work here it's a very important but journalism can go to extremes this was special what we're seeing happen with international where do you think and the u.k. journalism has had this responsible journalism in the u.k. and there's irresponsible journalism one or two newspapers that are very very sort of extreme in their thinking and i suspect we need more but sorry but the good thing is that the internet is counterbalancing that i think we used to have a newspaper. called the daily mail it's ready of people that are so i think
3:49 pm
a slightly negative way but i think the internet will hopefully start balancing that now and what's your take on the western powers of today for example julian assange. hero or and then what's your point i would not call him a hero or a villain i think that the mistake he made was not editing he had an incredible intimation he could have made thousands of great stories without without putting that life some people some people around the world and i think perhaps he just made it went a bit too far generally all for one hundred percent freedom of the press but i think in that situation you know there were definitely we had it would take a lot of dealings in zimbabwe trying to bring about democracy. suddenly we saw what we were doing and tried to bring about democracy. you sometimes you don't want to dictate. bad things find out. that
3:50 pm
other people are trying to bring about democracy. you can put lives in danger now your. best much their friends and their children's upbringing and if we talk about . right now in case you think that i have cause because i'm seeing the riots take place in two thousand and eleven for our. life right now and their lack of motivation i think. i'm not as politically minded. that they were in the sixty's when. they should have they should have. been the big demonstration of the sort of even bigger demonstrations. i think if anything the. vocal enough this generation i think that when politicians. take. to stop the. easy. to
3:51 pm
stop. politicians should be clever enough to get rid of leaders. without having two. million people and. i think the young people there are there are too many people are employed and i think personally that nobody should be allowed to be unemployed i think you can share the jobs that are available you can share them around with everybody which might mean that you know people have a three day weekend instead of a two day weekend the whatever but there is room to make sure that everybody has a job and i think that would resolve a lot of the problems of the world a little bit of a joke. question now let's just say you are a dreamer visionary or an entrepreneur all of that and much more than i dream big and then i try to make my dreams become reality. i dreamt of going to the mood
3:52 pm
one day and. in the end i could decided not to wait for the russian spaceship company will the american spaceship company we built you know we're building our own space ships to take us into space i think everybody should try to dream above what they're capable of and then try try to catch up with your dreams and now fortunately in particular and everything that happened recently. that i know you're fighting for it's. what's next. it's also has a large business section we think. of the kind that people have to use between that and he threat. that flying through. very small plane is not such a good idea so we think we think the civil aviation authority made the wrong
3:53 pm
decision but obviously the ideal. is that you have three carriers flying. i mean if. you have flying people into this country the better and they're paying a lot of rumors about you very often frequently having once trying to figure out where you think. the country or any other projects perhaps taking place is there anything less well i mean today we were going to be doing a lot in russia today that. we were going to. put a lot of money in trying to reduce people's energy output. in. in a positive way that. russia has had all this oil and therefore they are ready to try to preserve energy and if you can preserve energy. then you can export more oil so. three hundred million dollars into russia or into trying to invest in companies
3:54 pm
that come up with good ways of saving energy but nothing in particular right now that you can mention. which we're going to start from from today but we'll be looking at mobile phones we'll be looking at quite a lot of other investments as well last question. look if i get regretted anything i'd be a very sad person i mean i've just had the most. incredible fantastic. lots of adventures. created three other companies just had a blast is surrounded by wonderful people. been married to the same lady. great children. their regrets. but you yourself have faced a number of times especially on your travels on a hot air balloon race across the ocean what major to own for and over again i can
3:55 pm
imagine must have been so painful for your family as well the amount of could find out probably of rights and i love the child i always love a challenge great difficulty saying there and if somebody says. nobody slid around the world in a balloon and. nobody's. you know i just say well let's try. and i'm sure it wasn't easy. but now my children are doing it with. the highest mountain in europe a couple of months ago we. have together across the channel we're going to space together. so my children i think understand why i like to live life to. that i do that with my wife happy with the fact that your children about the same thing that you do i pay i don't think she's. wildly happy but you certainly love children do what they want to do and that's what i think that's what bothers me
3:56 pm
about this of course so. we tried to take on the way we have wonderful exciting challenges but i try to make a hundred percent sure i bring the children. thank you thank you so much it's like you. write. some stupid shoes so. please. don't call me. culture is that so much about the experience i mean to see
3:57 pm
